code of the streets

live by the code, and will die by the code, In a city where the shadows whisper tales untold, Got my crew on the block, we move like a ghost, Every step's calculated, man, we do the most Eyes open wide, see the truth in the lies, In this concrete jungle, where the real ones rise, I navigate the struggle, with wisdom in my flow, Got the heart of a lion, yeah, that's how I roll. Dark alleys whisper secrets, I hear 'em all clear Enemies lurk, but I’m feeding off fear. Respect in the game, it’s blood, sweat, and tears, Countin' my blessings, dodging fate's sneers. Street lights flicker, but my vision stays clear, In the hustle for the paper, I got nothin' to fear, Legacy in the making, every line that I wrote, You can feel the heartbeat, 'cause I am the code. From the corners to the rooftops, we rise and we grind, In the rhythm of the city, hear the pulse of my mind, Every verse a testament, every rhyme a decree, In the game of survival, I’m the key to be free. Stick to the code of the streets no promises I can't keep In this game of life, man, I’m stickin’ to my beat. Heat in my hand, like a furnace in the night, Gotta stay strapped, keep my vision in sight. Trust is a luxury, loyalty’s a must, Move like a shadow, never leave a trace, In this life of crime, man, I’m settin' the pace. Heart of a lion, but I’m cold as the street, Stick to the codes, I stay armed with the heat. orYeah, I’m movin' through the shadows, eyes on the prize, In a world full of snakes, I see the truth in disguise. Stick to the code, loyalty’s all that I breathe, Promises broken, it’s hard to believe. Concrete jungle, where the real ones survive, Every corner got a story, you either sink or you thrive. Trust is a luxury, I can’t afford to waste, Gotta keep it tight-knit, no room for the weak Keep my circle small, only real ones eat, Never back down, I’m a soldier in the fight, Keep my head on a swivel Promises I make, I’m the one to deliver, In this cold, hard world, you either break or you shiver.
